[1] The Company's ownership interest in NuPathe was accounted for as available-for-sale securities following NuPathe’s completion of an initial public offering in August 2010. In October 2012, the Company participated in a private placement of NuPathe preferred stock units, and in conjunction with this financing, the Company placed two persons on NuPathe's board of directors. As a result, the Company determined that it exercised significant influence over NuPathe which made the equity method of accounting applicable to its ownership interests. Instead, the Company elected the fair value option beginning in October 2012. Prior to August 2010, the Company accounted for NuPathe under the equity method.
